Oura Launches Ring 5, Its Smallest Smart Ring Yet

A slimmer, longer‑lasting ring paired with AI health monitoring that requires an Oura membership for full features.

Overview

  • Oura unveiled the Ring 5 on Thursday and opened pre-orders with shipping set to begin on June 4.
  • The Ring 5 is about 40% smaller than the Ring 4 at roughly 6.09 mm wide and 2.28 mm thick and offers about six to nine days of battery life per charge.
  • New hardware includes stronger LEDs and redesigned sensors for better skin contact while the optional portable charging case costs $99 and holds roughly five full ring charges.
  • Oura is rolling out Health Radar features such as Blood Pressure Signals (inferred from blood-flow patterns), Nighttime Breathing, live activity tracking, GLP-1 medication insights, and Lab Uploads, plus on-demand care via a Counsel Health partnership available in 43 U.S. states for an extra fee.
  • The Ring 5 starts at $399 for base finishes and $499 for premium finishes, the company keeps the membership at about $5.99 per month for full feature access, and Oura says it has confidentially filed an IPO draft with the SEC while tracking rapid member and revenue growth and adding time-based data-deletion controls.
